That effort was good enough to beat the Oilers, but that's about it. An improvement on the last two games, but not nearly enough.
I think Kerr said in the pregame that Wideman is back on Friday? If so, I hope that last night was Derek Smith's last game as a Flame. He was responsible for two of the goals against.
Also, I didn't mind the idea, in theory, of putting Westgarth and McGrattan on separate lines. Except, you know, they needed to be throwing the body more. We needed those two to wear down a tired Flyers team, and it didn't happen.
